Like the "Border Town", so remember Phoenix.
Those who became obsessed with the text fresh and elegant, but also floating in between the lines of those who fell in love with the slightest shallow grief.
So biased that one corner of the frontier fortress Miao, the total in each inadvertently Review Office, the entanglement me deep in the heart desire.
The back of luggage, and I never tired again to continue my wandering. Only approached, your side.
Each time the Phoenix outlining his mind always conjures up such a picture: the Tuojiang Qingqing murmuring water, marching footsteps of years and gently through the ancient city of earth-shaking time. Dragonflies of the River Bend, meandering the rows of old scattered the Diaojiaolou, and that stand in the old city wall in the rotation of the foot waterwheel, year after year, turned a small town in the early morning of the four seasons Yan Liang ... ... First Sound Jiti wake-up the sleeping town, get up early for Huan Yi woman, "blah" sound of the whip crack of dawn hit the tranquility. Dawn of the Tuo an Ambilight, then grinder Weng take a leaf boat with his boat in the Ta Ge Tracy came in the morning breeze. "Zhi Ya," heard, Diaojiaolou the girl did not know about who has quietly opened the window, the shame reddening and looked out to find songs that sing of the one-night stand wait senselessly Shaonian Lang ... ...
I think I am really fascinated by, and drunk with that little bit of nostalgia in the Chen Lao, Cecil melancholy for me, a net woven with that sound of sighing, and the light sad for my brewing dreams ... ...
Imagine always too perfect, but the reality has always come too real.
When I crossed the mountains and seas to come to Phoenix. I can not believe, here is my place to look for her hundreds of times.
Streets of the old and new buildings mixed with a crowd of. The road is probably being renovated, that bare asphalt road with passenger three speeding motorcycle. Theater posters before the sharp words are being used sensational adult film for the upcoming film on the kitsch doing ads. I do not know which stores low-quality speakers, the are not so tired to doing its promotion and advertisement ... ... front of a thriving scene, with the noisy hustle and bustle. Today, Phoenix is the pace with the world with its peers, but, but it was not what I want to look for Vacant Phoenix, not that dream where a quiet, indifferent to the Miao.
I have a postcard to a friend inside said, "I go there to find, that the night Qingshenkuankuan of singing, it Diaojiaolou on the long-awaited Chuanniang. Or never, Phoenix is just the hometown of Chen Lao memories"
Without dreams, I go there looking for paradise.
Carrying luggage, and I wander around aimlessly. Into the old city gates, I finally found a little glimpse of the desolation of the empty years of wear. Clearly the ancient city has been renovated, deliberate modification, omitted the most valuable of the original; through the merchants who gathered in the streets, only that the streets still seem to recall bluestone its former glory; years of vicissitudes, remains unchanged, and wanted to come only That rush flowing River Huan Yi Tuo and that the girl; remnants of several Diaojiaolou squeezed in the corner of River, then under the eaves Tunjin the color of red lanterns and left alone to drift in the wind ... ...
Nifty phoenix, always between heaven and the earthly Gouliu kept trained on the final desire. As desperate as that of unrequited love, when you disheartened and give you a breathtaking photo winks, an America that if immortal smile.
Perhaps never, Phoenix is the same, different only our own dream-like expectations.
So I stop and listen to the Phoenix, listening to it gently shallow of singing, I carefully close to the Miao village, feeling it Qianhuaxijin the vicissitudes of life.
Mr. Shen Lao go to the cemetery that afternoon, the cold sky Piaoqi the rain.
Out a return to Long House, walk down along the Tuo River, near Kikunami mountain, they rest in peace with the eminent literary reputation at home and abroad. Declined all the rickshaw pullers of the "invitation" and I walked the muddy paths, 2 Shao Shang Huang Ju, put in the tomb of Mr. to Mr. express the admiration of no words to the table. You say "can not be killed in battle will be returned to home," Today, you wish fulfilled Yishanbangshui lie buried in his homeland. You are the son of Phoenix, Phoenix of the mountains and the imaginative achievements of your ethereal, but, is this not you, the achievements of this remote border town's reputation.
You are the poor of the entire life, even if standing on your grave, I also can not imagine sleeping here, is a literary giants. A humble stone made of Bei Shang, engraved with your words of warning future generations. As if, the I heard an old man's earnest and sincere.
Walked down the stairs, I would again look back. Oh yes! Kikunami foot of the mountain in such a way you are used to Meng Yin-piece nourishes your place. Yi Gong Ju, on a deep, for heaven example of her Chixin Impossible.
Looked for an Inn stay there, I decided to do a few days, "nothing" Phoenix man. Did not go there, what do not want to, in this small town on the sunset cruise Nippori. Forgotten years, forgotten time.
Inn has a big terrace, facing the Tuo, I often think Yuebaifengqing night, facing the murmuring of the Tuo, with several close friends to light a statement Huan, then it is time Oh what a blessing. Every day, I will sing in the rooster's wake up, just as the home of his childhood spent in those distant times. Stood on the balcony looking at dawn in the rush of pedestrians leisurely Huan Yi woman, suddenly a kind of startled by Jinxi Ho evening. Followed by school children skipping across the stone block of stone across the Tuo River, I am not help also infected their carefree happiness. Casually in the ancient city where found a breakfast snack stalls resolved, delicious, and fair.
Nothing better, in the streets wandering around eyeful of batik shop, silver shop and restaurants. A family to walk past and touch this, ask it. Store passion and patience, do not buy it does not matter, the business is not aimed at adults. Bargaining is inevitable, this is the sale of the fun. But do not use your in the city have been accustomed to the idea, here back price range is very small, because the simplicity of the local people had not yet learned to make money against their conscience. Here, you may well ask what took the price, bully strangers, but also has no access to their ideas. Old Town is not every day I would be easy to change 78 times. Likes to Amoy from time to time in such a small thing as a gift, one to two to go, and those shops are also mixed with a very old one Lianshu. To see you every day, he would like greeting old friends as, "Hey, are you not leaving the country again?" Suddenly feel like sprinkled streets and alleys, like the sun, with a warm pleasure.
Always like a sunny afternoon, in those ancient alleys are free to wander. Tired, and stopped in a random manner with others, there is a tie not a tie-in chat, can be worn away an afternoon time. On that day, accidentally crashed into the teachers that can move as early as batik paintings Square, where the old can be met in this wise old man. Linger in the painting depicting imaginative, the listening to a conversation like old downtown homely mood at this moment of peace has become an exception. A lifetime of experience ups and downs with the success or failure, always plain in his right; hear you say your painting, your workshop, or even design your future, I even forgot that this is our first meeting his life. A kindly old, as the Phoenix and the general pro-style. When I turned to leave, I will draw your stuffed into memory, so mind your heart.
Often, we will be because one person or one thing but to remember a place, even obsessed. That saw the house called the old house restaurant, in addition to a good name, no decoration excels. Into their stores, the boss asked, "there are a few people?" The answer was "one." The boss said, "You're a people do not Haonong, just like we have an eat." Boss did not feel a bit abrupt, Daorang I am a bit embarrassed. Shengqingnanque, plus have enough to eat a person lonely. I have decided to celebrate together than alone the joy. Brother Lee that day (the boss) is very busy, afraid that I'm hungry, but also let me eat. Around the fire before it is full of a pot of chowder pot, like the mother's & Deli. Chibi rice, I would like to pay Lee Colombian firm of charge. Said "I told you to eat with no intention to collect the money." Phoenix at this time is early winter season, I was thousands of miles away from home places, found a warm and stay away from home. It's not about the money, only deals in emotions. I do not know that tomorrow may occur in transformation, now I have been truly touched by the ...
Phoenix at night, there is no noise, just quiet.
Found that inter-called "Rangers" bar, asked for a cup of tea, sitting on the third floor of the window, watching the moonlight under the Tuojiang a daze. This is a three-story wood-style Diaojiaolou, wood has been some mottled, the owner deliberately creating a kind of tranquil. At the touch of tea, in the shallow Yinyun years, turned watching someone else Xinshou smear word, and my heart a kind of confidant-like resonance. Said that the footprints of our predecessors is the scenery, then walked on tomorrow, I will not become someone else's set.
Sitting in the corner, the loneliness to think on their minds. Trilogy Wei Liang, holding the hands of the cup, like nationality in order to weary soul warmth. Suddenly thousands of miles away before a friend sent greetings, I get in this whole workshop is truly gently dance music.
Go further away, heart toward the direction of home. Phoenix, I'm not you go people, only passer-by.
Finally turned to leave, I hope I can come back.
Not because you are the home of Chen Lao pen, but because you are impressed that I had inadvertently at the Phoenix ... ...
